Yesterday, we looked at the most dominant quarterbacks in fantasy history. Today, the running backs, using the methodology described yesterday. Let&#8217;s look at the three best seasons in fantasy history, since all shed light on the formula here. Those three are LaDainian Tomlinson, 2006, which is2015-07-16 00:37:576/3: FootballPerspective.com- Career Yards From Scrimmage Over &#8220;Worst Starter&#8221; Baselinehttp://www.footballperspective.com/career-yards-from-scrimmage-over-worst-starter-baseline/
Last week, we looked at the career leaders in rushing yards over worst starter; today, we use the same methodology but with yards from scrimmage. Let&#8217;s use Walter Payton&#8217;s 1977 season as an example. That season, the NFL had 28 teams, and the 28th-ranked player in yards from scrimmage gai2015-06-03 00:35:466/2: FootballPerspective.com- Guest Post: Brad Oremland’s Best QBs in History: 40-48http://www.footballperspective.com/guest-post-brad-oremlands-best-qbs-in-history-40-48/
Brad Oremland is a longtime commenter and a fellow football historian. Brad is also a senior NFL writer at Sports Central. There are few who have given as much thought to the history of quarterbacks and quarterback ranking systems as Brad has over the years. What follows is Brad&#8217;s latest work 2015-06-02 00:36:074/3: The Game Before the Money- Legendary Insights — Eric Metcalfhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/thegamebeforethemoney/xaUK/~3/e-8FDAs0n3g/

The Cleveland Browns drafted Eric 13th 2015-04-03 11:39:233/31: The Game Before the Money- THE SOUTHWEST CONFERENCE — A FAMILY THEN AND NOWhttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/thegamebeforethemoney/xaUK/~3/U5YpduG55PY/

Alfred Morris was just a sixth round pick. During his rookie season, he happened to play alongside the eventual offensive rookie of the year. Since then, RG3 has continued to dominate headlines, while Morris continues to plug away without garnering a fraction of the attention. For example, did you k2014-12-21 01:35:587/22: FootballPerspective.com- The Top Quarterbacks And The Receivers They Threw It Tohttp://www.footballperspective.com/the-top-quarterbacks-and-the-receivers-they-threw-it-to/
Last week, I looked at the top receivers and the quarterbacks who threw it to them. Today, we flip that question around and look at which receivers the top quarterbacks threw to. I used the exact same methodology from the previous post, so please read that for the fine details. For Peyton Manning, 22014-07-22 00:35:467/17: FootballPerspective.com- The Rashard Mendenhall/Andre Ellington Time Share Part IIhttp://www.footballperspective.com/the-rashard-mendenhallandre-ellington-time-share-part-ii/
In November, I wrote about the unique running back by committee taking place in Arizona. At the time, Rashard Mendenhall was averaging 3.1 yards per carry, while backup Andre Ellington was averaging 7.2 yards per rush on 54 carries. I thought it would be fun to revisit the Ellington/Mendenhall time 2014-07-17 00:35:557/3: FootballPerspective.com- Best AV-Weighted Winning Percentages of Offensive Playershttp://www.footballperspective.com/best-av-weighted-winning-percentages-of-offensive-players/
Yesterday, I looked at the weighted career winning percentages for running backs, with the weight being based on each player&#8217;s yards from scrimmage in each season of his career. Today, I want to do the same thing but for all offensive players, using PFR&#8217;s Approximate Value ratings.

Two weeks ago, I looked at the best punt returners in NFL history; today, a look at the top kickoff returners. Again, we begin with a graph of the league average yards per kickoff return from 1941 through 2013. The variation here has been relatively minor, falling in a 5-yard window from 18.9 yards 2014-04-02 00:35:553/17: FootballPerspective.com- The Best Punt Returners in NFL Historyhttp://www.footballperspective.com/the-best-punt-returners-in-nfl-history/
Six years ago, I wrote a series of posts looking at the best returners in NFL history. Today, I want to update that list by examining the best punt returners in NFL history. As with most statistics, yards per punt return has fluctuated throughout most of NFL history. The graph below shows the averag2014-03-17 00:35:472/13: Heat Waved- Arizona Cardinals: When Was The Last Time...http://heatwaved.com/2014/02/13/arizona-cardinals-last-time/

Last week, we announced that our True Receiving Yards metric has now been calculated back to 1950, so it&#8217;s only **** that we also compute WOWY (With Or Without You) for all of those receivers as well. Skip the paragraph after this if you don&#8217;t care about the gory mathematical details,2013-09-24 01:36:059/19: FootballPerspective.com- True Receiving Yards (v2.0) Extended Back to 1950http://www.footballperspective.com/true-receiving-yards-v2-0-extended-back-to-1950/
About a month ago, Chase &#038; I developed a stat called True Receiving Yards, which seeks to put all modern &#038; historical receiving seasons on equal footing by adjusting for the league&#8217;s passing YPG environment &#038; schedule length, plus the amount the player&#8217;s team passed (it&#82013-09-19 00:36:2912/29: FootballPerspective.com- Checkdowns: Career rushing stats in wins and losseshttp://www.footballperspective.com/checkdowns-career-rushing-stats-in-wins-and-losses/
Yesterday, I noted that Adrian Peterson is averaging nearly two more yards per rush in losses than wins. He&#8217;s also averaging a nearly identical number of rushing yards per game in wins and losses. As you&#8217;re about to see, that&#8217;s pretty rare. We all know that wins are correlated with2012-12-29 23:35:45
